1. Felt or Wooden Play Pieces
Felt play pieces can be used as Easter decorations as well as for imaginative play. Bunnies, chickens, chicks, eggs, carrots, guinea pigs all make adorable gifts and can also be easily made for those creative types. There are many excellent patterns freely available (check out Pinterest) or you can purchase them from shops such as The Small Folk
There are also some gorgeous little wooden play sets and animals such as the rabbit & guinea pig set from Le Toy Van or the timeless Ostheimer animals
2. Wooden Celebration Circles
Wooden celebration rings are a beautiful tradition for all types of celebrations such as Easter, Birthdays and Christmas. Little wooden decorations and candles are added to make a magical centrepiece and add a sense of wonder to occasions. You can purchase them from The Creative Toy Shop, Village Toys and also Honeybee Toys
3. Easter Books
Books are a traditional gift and help create special memories. Easter books are easily found in bookshops and department stores. Seasonal and Waldorf inspired books are available from The Small Folk and Dragon Fly Toys
4. Wooden Eggs
Wooden eggs are a much nicer choice than plastic eggs and can be painted, used for egg hunts, used for imaginative play and also as decorations. Best of all, they can be kept for years and years making them a sustainable and economical choice. There are lots of options on eBay or they are usually found quite easily in department stores at this time of year. You can also get beautiful wooden egg cups for special breakfasts
5. Pyjamas
There's nothing better than snuggling up in a new pair of pyjamas and it makes for a lovely Easter tradition. Snugglebums have a great range of Easter themed pyjamas and they are also quite easily found in department stores.
So with these gift ideas in mind, making up a delightful Easter basket and egg hunt has never been more fun, meaningful, eco-friendly or healthy. Hop to it!
